SOLIDWORKS
PDM uses the Bill of Materials component display settings that are specified in
SOLIDWORKS.
In SOLIDWORKS, in the Configuration Properties PropertyManager, the parameters
that you specify in the Bill of Materials Options are also supported in computed BOMs of
SOLIDWORKS PDM.
- In SOLIDWORKS, the Promote option for
Child component display when used as a
subassembly dissolves the subassemblies in the BOM and displays the
child components. The computed BOMs follow this behavior for subassembly references
that are defined to Promote.
This option applies only to computed BOMs. The assembly is
included as a reference in the Contains and
Where Used tabs.
- In SOLIDWORKS, the Link to Parent
Configuration option for Part
number displayed when used in a bill of materials sets the
configuration to use the same part number as the parent configuration. If you define
this option, the computed BOM uses the part number of the parent configuration.
This option is available only for derived
configurations.
